Circular Quay, Vivid Sydney, stars

This artwork was hung above a walkway at Circular Quay during the Vivid Sydney festival. The spatial installation takes the theme of this yea’s festival “Let there be Light” to hark back to the beginning of time, before city light pollution dimmed our view of scattered stars. “Crystallized” was created by Andrew Daly and Katharine Fife from 4000 edge-lit acrylic, recyclable rods like a canopy of glittering stalactites in a cave. The programmed LEDs gave a fluctuating colourful abstraction of a starry night sky that you could wander beneath.
